    I've used craiglist before and you can typically get pretty much any type of post up if you do it through manual submission. I've had several advertising posts get flagged though. As will pointed out, this was probably only up for a few minutes prior to getting flagged it was in obvious violation.

    ok, i would assume that the poster knows that his/her ad will be flagged within 30 minutes or 1 hour even, but posts the ads in hopes that people see it first. Once a person sees it i doubt they go back to the ad since they already have "proof" in their mind that the person can get posts up.
    Plus he is not lying because the ad was NOT ghosted so he is offering exactly what he says

    It is not hard to get an ad up, t is just hard to not get it flagged. People have become flag happy as we all know

    You can put that same ad up if you wish. He probably charges a nice premium and it is a great way to get clients.
    I would never do what he did, or would I? wink wink

    thank you for verifying that for me. it is just posted to hopefully get some customers, i prefer getting customers in more traditional ways. right now i post for a bunch of people and never once did something like that, although i do understand why they do it, it just doesnt show much trust in my mind to basically trick people.
    getting ads up is not hard, getting them to stick is a different story

    the ad was basically a person trying to get people to use him/her to post for you.

    BTW, the ad that CUCR3 showed us above most likely will get the user banned, and banned faster than if he/she used image shack
    i am not going to show you the info, but if you view the page source you will see the image is from photobucket
    and the user is most likely, 99% sure, using a token to change his images, but the account is going to be disabled, meaning that all of the images associated with that account will also be disabled.
    whoever paid him for services better hope that their images were not carelessly uploaded like this ad
    i am sure that once CL or the flaggers catch this his photobucket account will be flagged and then blocked, and made useless
    just FYI, dont do what this guy did
